Explanation

❯ Tel Aviv Airport Shuttle (run by flo Shuttle), is the easiest and most economical way to reach central Tel Aviv.

The shuttle will take you from the airport straight to your hotel in Tel Aviv. It has shared regular and express shuttle options as well as private shuttles. The shuttle buses are air conditioned, and the drivers speak English.

The trip should take about 20-30 minutes (maybe more, if the shuttle makes a lot of stops).

• Regular and express shuttle bus fares are around ILS 55-123 per person to any hotel in central points of Tel Aviv. If you're not staying at a hotel, the shuttle bus will drop you at the hotel closest to your destination (almost always less than 5 minutes by foot). Express buses usually make a maximum of 3 stops along the way.

• Private shuttles start at around ILS 217 for up to 3 people (with options for bigger groups as well).

The shared shuttles leave every hour on the hour (and private shuttles leave whenever you book them to), 24/7 from the terminal exits.

❯ Egged shuttle bus, line 5, is the other bus option that takes you to the El Al Junction where you can then connect to regular Egged bus routes to reach central Tel Aviv.

This option is not advised, as it's a lot more complicated and takes much longer (for example, a trip from the airport to the New Central Bus Station/Ha-Hagana Train Station requires a transfer to line 268 at El Al Junction, and takes 56 minutes).

• There are only two terminals at TLV Airport, terminals 1 and 3 (terminal 2 was demolished). Low-cost carriers such as EasyJet mostly land in terminal 1.

• You can take a free shuttle bus between the different airport terminals as well as the car park:

– To get from T1 to T3: the free shuttle bus stop is located outside of T1, opposite Gate 4 – To get from T3 to T1: the free shuttle bus stop is located on Level G, by the Long-Term Car Park shuttle station– To get from T3 to the car park: the free shuttle bus stop is located on Level G, next to Gate 1

Explanation

Israel Railways trains run out of the Ben Gurion Airport Railway Station, which is located on the lower level of terminal 3.

Trains leave approximately every 30 minutes during the day and once an hour at night, from Saturday evening (around 9:30 PM) to Friday afternoon (around 4:30 PM). The trains don't operate on Shabbat, or on Jewish holidays.

You can check the schedules and different destinations using the journey planner.

Tip(s):

• While the train is a bit cheaper than the Tel Aviv Airport Shuttle, it won't take you directly to the city center (Savidor Central Station, for example, is located on the eastern side of Tel Aviv). You'll therefore need to take another bus or taxi to reach the central district (which can be especially tricky late at night).

• There are only two terminals at TLV Airport, terminals 1 and 3 (terminal 2 was demolished). Low-cost carriers such as EasyJet mostly land in terminal 1.

• You can take a free shuttle bus between the different airport terminals as well as to the car park, details can be found under bus tab.

Operating Times/Frequency

Explanation

Standard taxis operate from the airport 24/7 – simply follow the 'Taxi' signs to find the taxi queues outside of the airport terminals.

A trip to central Tel Aviv takes about 20-30 minutes.

A typical fare is between ILS 150-190, depending on the number of passengers and how much luggage you have.

Tip(s):

It's common that taxis drivers try to scam their passengers; to avoid getting ripped off, ask the person in charge at the taxi queue how much your fare will be, and make sure the taxi driver agrees to this fare before taking any taxi.
